This is repeated, ad nauseum. So, every 48 hours, I can only leave the hospital for approximately 10 hours.

I REALLY REGRET coming to the Melaka GH.

I for you.

Started the first day doing nothing but report for duty and receive my first posting. Guess what I got - O&G... Yay!

Well.. think of it this way.. you get to see more women in a day than most of us will in a lifetime

You can complain all you want here. All ears will be listening...

If me... I would have stabbed her through her heart.

Err.. They are all married and pregnant (in Obs) or with some gynae problems. Certainly not looking their very best!

I think maybe I should not. The Obs department somehow knows I'm running ARP.

It's possible that someone from that department may be reading this now.

Oh hell.. I'm so freaking tired of the attitude in the department. I kinda like O&G but the attitude totally turns me off.

Well, we have 3 major postings (Medicine, Surgery, O&G) and 2 minor postings (Ortho and Paeds).

Four months per posting = 20 months total.

Well.. even if they are married, it doesn't mean they're not incredibly good looking hey are pap smears done in gynae ? I've never actually seen a cervix, up close, in real life. That must really be something

Well, try swinging by the labour ward. You will see what I mean.

I think it's good for people to see real labours going on. I think it will make people appreciate the sacrifice women make giving birth to their children.

Yeah, pap smears are done in gynae...

Well, join our "noble" profession and you will get the opportunity to do so. Although I doubt the privilege is worth such a sacrifice.
